1. A system, comprising:

  • a processor configured to;

    receive a test configuration for scheduled tests that includes a label for a set of conditions for dynamically selecting endpoint agents that match the set of conditions in the test configuration, wherein a plurality of endpoint agents are deployed to a plurality of endpoint devices;

    receive a configuration input for setting a maximum number of endpoint agents that are to be selected for concurrently performing the scheduled tests;

    identify one or more of the plurality of endpoint agents that match the label for the set of conditions in the test configuration, wherein each of the plurality of endpoint agents that match the label for the set of conditions in the test configuration is dynamically associated with the label based on a current network, a geography, an operating system (OS), a set of current state information, and/or other runtime/state information;

    assign the scheduled tests associated with the test configuration to the matching endpoint agents for execution of the scheduled tests based on the test configuration, wherein a number of the matching endpoint agents that are assigned the scheduled tests does not exceed the maximum number of endpoint agents that are to be selected for concurrently performing the scheduled tests, and wherein test results are based on the scheduled tests executed on each of the matching endpoint agents for monitoring network activity; and

    receive uploaded results of the scheduled tests executed on the matching endpoint agents, wherein the uploaded results of the scheduled tests executed on the matching endpoint agents are processed for generating graphical visualizations and/or alerts of the monitored network activity; and

    a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.
